The Manchesters gagged young Clarkson's
delivery in the sixth inning yesterday and
won the game by sending thirteen men to
the bat and scoring nine runs. Aside from
this inning the game was close and there
was some good playing. Williams pitched a
fine game for the visitors in marked con-
trast to his previous visit here. The Man
chesters played fine fielding game, not an
error being made outside Of the battery, and
the Portlands made but three aside from
battery errors. 1t was the first time Clark
son has been batted SO heavy, but this time
he got quite punishment.
The visitors earned run in the first ON a
two-bagger by Shelter, his only hit during
the game, and single by Doyle. Another
was added in the second on hit, steal and
wild pitch. The Portlands scored one in the
fourth, Dickerson being bit by Williams.
taking second and third on two put outs and
scoring on Davin's hit. Three were earned
in the sixth on singles by Dickerson, Hat
field and Thayer, and a two-bagger by
DAWN. The score stood 4 tO2 when the
Manchesters came to the bat in the last half
Of the sixth. ,Carney hit a grounder to left
and took third on a wild pitch. T. McDer-
mott got his base on balls and stole second.
Trask then hit to left field and brought both
men In. Canavan hit short fly, which
DAWN made hard run for, but couldn't get,
and first and second bases were full again.
Dutfey made an attempt TO put out Canavan
at first and threw wild, advancing both men
Dase. Williams then surprised his club by
making hit TO right, bringing both men in.
M. McDermott hit to Hatfield, who in at
tempting to make double play threw wild
to Andrus and both men were safe. Cough
lin then hit for two bags and Williams
scored, McDermott going to third. Shelter
was hit by Clarks0D and Doyle hit long fly
to DAWN. Before the ball was returned
McDermott had scored, and COughlin and
Shelter advanced to third and second. Car
ney hit to Lufbery, who threw home, but
not quick enough to put out Coughlin, who
scored. Carney stole second, and both he
and Shelter scored on hit by I. McDer-
mott. The latter was advanced to second by
Trask, who hit safe, but was caugh! mapping
at first by Duffey. Canavan was the third
man out, Hatfield to Schoeneck. This closed
the most disastrous inning that Clarkson
has experienced since he commenced the
season. Two more runs were scored in the
eighth on an. error by Lufberry, base on
balls, hit and wild pitch.
The feature OF the game was a catch by
DAWN of Carney's long fly in the eighth. He
ran clear to the fence in left field and caught
it sideways. 1t was brilliant play. In
turning quick to throw to first to cut off
Doyle he slipped on one knee and Shelter
informed the umpire that he dropped it.
This was so laughable that Shelter didn't
argue long, The quiet centre fielder Of last
year has developed considerable kick, for
the display Of which he was promptly fined
$40 by Umpire Phinney The umpiring was
very fair, considering what Portland has
seen Of late, MIR. Phinney's only noticeably
wrong decisions being when he allowed
Carney, the first man at the bat in the fatal
sixth, to take first on hit that Hatfield had
to stand four or five feet outside of the foul
line to stop, and to go across the diamond
from first to third on wild pitch without
going near second. But it was not the UNI
piring that lost the game. 1t was the Man
chesters', fair and square, and they deserve
credit for playing fine game. Following is
the score:
